2. There is no problem of water loss caused by supplying water through small ditches;

3. The entire plot of land receives very uniform irrigation;

4. The sprinkler irrigation method requires only a small number of low ridges; compared with flood irrigation, it increases the cultivable area and thus achieves increased yield;

5. The sprinkler irrigation method supplies water continuously and quickly, allowing crops to absorb it very effectively, with extremely high work efficiency;

6. Because of the effective water supply, yield increases and soil conditions can be improved;

7. Regardless of plot size, sprinkler irrigation can be carried out effectively;

8. There is no need to build many ditches; only simple mechanical operation is required;

9. It saves a great deal of labour;

10. The sprinkler irrigation machine is very convenient to move and can be used on different plots of land.
